OMG where do I start? LOL, I'm like a kid in a candy store. I did it, I did it!! I changed up into what I felt was an appropriate outfit for the day and chose my favorite wig. I didn't primp too much, I told myself it was just going to be a ride in the car and that's it. One last look in the mirror...damn, I still look like a guy in drag. I decide to put on a bit of eye shadow, some blush on my cheeks and a light pink lip gloss. Oh, that looks a lot better. Not believeable, but now I'm less apprehensive. Well, maybe "less" is a relative way to say it...I have butterflies in my stomach and my lips and mouth are as dry as the Sahara. In the course of 30 minutes I have to pee 3 times, that tells me how nervous I am.
Finally we're out the door, into the car, luggage loaded, back out of the garage. Fortunately my neighbors have gone to work and no one is around, it's 10:30 AM. I am paranoid about several things. First of all, don't break any traffic laws, keep to the speed limits, signal all turns, don't do anything stupid. Second, watch out for other motorists who are on cruise control or worse, talking on cell phones, etc. Last thing I need is a fender bender accident in the middle of some of the towns we have to drive through. I joke to my wife that this will be the day that every cop in the state will be out there looking at us. Heh, I'm not far wrong. In the first 100 miles we come across 5 cops! There is a state police car 10 miles after we leave the house waiting to pull out of an intersection and he's waiting for Suzie to drive by and turn in where he's exiting. My wife says to me "Don't make eye contact with him, just drive on by, and turn left. I do and he goes on his way...WHEW! LOL
After a couple hours, she has to visit the ladies room, so I pull into a rest stop and park while she goes inside. I thought about getting out and walking around but I'm too nervous. I don't want to sit there for 5 minutes looking at people, so I pick up her Glamour Magazine and leaf through the pages to pass the time. No one molests me! LOL
Back on the highway and eventually up into the beautiful White Mountains. We head across a scenic section of the Kancamagus Highway, a two lane tourist road across the mountain pass with lots of scenic view areas. At the summit of the pass I pull into one of them and get out of the car and walk around, looking at the mountains and scenery. There are 3 other cars there and other people walking around. No one molests me. No one looks at me. WHEW! I walk around some more. A few people drive closely by and I avoid eye contact, concentrating on my camera.
My wife walks down to the ladies room and on the way back she comes up behind me. She comments to me that from the back I look like any other woman standing in the parking lot, it's impossible to tell. Well, other than the fact that I'm 6'3" in short sandal heels. We have 20 more miles to the hotel. I want to stay here and walk around, enjoying my girlish freedom. No one molests me!
But I can't go into town and to the hotel like this. The plan is to change back into drab and I wait until we are the only car in the parking lot. Quickly I remove my wig, sweater, bra, and pull on a T-shirt. Off come the heels and knee high stockings, replace by socks and running shoes. I can do it all in a minute or less. A quick wipe with a tissue to remove the makeup and we're ready to go. My heart rate settles down...finally. And no one has molested me!!
Sorry for being so long winded, but did I say I was over the moon? LOL. You girls are the best, just for listening and being there! Here's a picture of the day, taken by my ever supportive wife!
